Hey there guys! The Mad Monkey, Luekman, chose to foist this month's prompt on me and my big mouth, so this is your punishment for his crimes. 
Feel free to kill Luekman at any time. We'll feed him to Haggis.
This month's prompt is, you guessed it, all about the senses. In stories, we use these senses to connect with our reader, to make them connect with our character(s). We describe.
Not so easy this time.
You have 1500-3000 words.
Your main character(s) MUST try to escape from some preternatural evil. Your character(s) must be human. The evil may be anything; Demons, zombies, werewolves, vampires, monsters, the beast under your bed, in your closet, in your head. (Shout out to Metallica) You may use an animal if you wish, but it HAS to have a supernatural element.
You may only use ONE of the following major senses. Choose wisely, because your character(s) do not have the others. ONE sense to draw us in and make us friggin' believe.
Those senses are:
Sound
Touch
Taste
Smell
Notice that sight is not on that list. That is because you can't have it. No sight, no visuals. No images. The point of this is to make you think about the things we take for granted in our writing, our character's senses. Sight is far too easy, so you can't have that one. I think we'll all benefit from an in depth look at the human senses. You may use any method you wish to explain why the missing senses are missing, if you wish to. BUT, you don't have to explain a thing if you don't want to.
Your chatacter(s) are allowed their "spidey senses", or their intuition in other words, along with one of the four major senses listed.
You have 1500-3000 words. Go!
